Description
The first observation of gravitational waves from the inspiral of a binary neutron star (BNS) 200 system on 2017 August 17 (Abbott et al. 2017b) was a major landmark in multi-messenger astronomy and astrophysics. The gravitational-wave merger was accompanied by a gamma-ray burst (Abbott et al. 2017c; Goldstein et al. 2017; Savchenko et al. 2017); the subsequent world-wide follow-up of the signal by electromagnetic telescopes and satellite observatories identified the host galaxy and observed the kilonova and afterglow emission of the event over a period of hours to months (see, for example, Abbott et al. 2017d and references therein; Villar et al. 2017; Hajela et al. 2019; Troja et al. 2019).
